Calfs

calves.

yes: calf raises, squats and deadlifts.

i personally like seated calf raises, but I have genetically large and strong calves. I can do warm up sets on standing calf raise with the entire stack (485lbs at my gym) and it takes 20 reps to 'feel the burn'.
meanwhile the pads dig into my shoulders and leave me with striped surface bruises which I don't care for.
 
oly pulls will also help.

And I got genetically strong calfs too, not very big. I can calf raise quite a bit of weight though, with not much training for them.
for many calfs are stubborn, so throw inn some isos if you really want them to grow, both seated and standing.

If I had your calves I could add 2mph to my cycling speed easy! Lucky dog!
 
Calf raises seated and standing, bodybuilders have been known to do high rep sets to stimulate adaptation believing that they are a muscle that respnds to this because of their postural attibutes.
 
I havnt done calves for about 2 weeks which is bad for me as my calves are realllyyyy skinny (well not tht bad) but they are slim, so i need to work harder on them. I didnt know squats worked them, but thinking about it when pushing up on the squat i can feel the stress on the calves, so more squats for me :D
 
Squats help the biceps too.. and forearms, and traps, and abs, probobly even your P-muscle (the muscle you use to move your *****, etc) :p
Squats are just awsome that way!
